This is fixed in the latest brasero available in lucid.

If this was fixed (please provide a changelog entry when saying that something has been fixed?), it seems to have regressed, as I saw the exact same failure on today's upgrade.

Note that Conflicts or whatever is not normally the correct solution to this kind of problem. You normally need to use Replaces.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

(High importance as this will break quite a few upgrades to lucid.)

brasero (2.29.4-0ubuntu3) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/control.in:
    - add missing Replaces for
      /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-brasero-extension.so
      that moved from libbrasero-media0 to brasero
